History Trivia / NamcoXCapcom

-->'''Reiji''': Hey, Wait ! Poetry, who does that on this day and age ? Talk about bad tastes.
-->'''Xiaomu''': People call that "Being caught red handed" !
-->'''Saya''': Huh ... Hey, who ... ? Who is that ?
-->'''Xiaomu''': You don't deserve to know my name ! Come on, tell her Reiji !

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Reiji and Xiaomu, as well as Saya and her henchmen, debuted in the states with ''VideoGame/EndlessFrontier'' and would appear again in ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''. But so far, their origin game has still yet to be localized in any way.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Kyoko and Xiamou are [[Anime/ExcelSaga Excel and Hyatt]].

* TalkingToHimself: Many examples of this, due to the size of the cast. For instance, Ki and Sylphie are voiced by Creator/RieTanaka.

* NamesTheSame:
** The [[TheStarscream treacherous]] [[MonsterClown clown]] from ''[[VideoGame/{{Klonoa}} Klonoa Heroes]]'' and the [[NobleDemon honorable]] [[WingedHumanoid Red Arremer]] from ''VideoGame/GargoylesQuest'' both identify as Joker and both are in this game.
** The HeroesRUs organization Shinra has nothing to do with the MegaCorp from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''.

* ActorAllusion: That Rom Stoll shtick Reiji pulls off, he starts it off here. Well, to be exact, Xiaomu says it then tells Reiji to do it. Sadly, he doesn't (in this game at least)

* TheOtherDarrin: A few characters have undergone seiyuu changes (such as Creator/RyotaroOkiayu as VideoGame/CaptainCommando, taking over from Creator/TakashiNagasako in the ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' games, or Creator/YukaImai voicing [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Lilith]] instead of Creator/HirokoKonishi), but a good number of the pre-voiced characters retained their respective [=VA=]s. In fact, some characters hailing from series where voice changes were a frequent event (i.e. ''Franchise/StreetFighter'') actually brought ''back'' some of the past seiyuu for reprisals.

* RoleReprisal: Several characters from games included and released around this time reprise their voice actors- for instance, Creator/KumikoWatanabe reprises her role as Klonoa.

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Reiji and Xiaomu, as well as Sayu and her henchmen, debuted in the states with ''VideoGame/EndlessFrontier'' and would appear again in ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''. But so far, their origin games have still yet to be localized in any way.

* NoExportForYou: It was said that the game was originally going to be released in the US, however Namco backed out at the last instance due to a lot of their characters being unknown to westerners. Aside from a fan-group releasing a patch that translated the whole game into English, as of now, there are no known plans to release the game to the west, even with its spiritual successor, ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone''.

However, a group {{defied|Trope}} this trope by releasing a patch which translated the whole game into English. Still a moot point if you don't have a modded [=PlayStation 2=], or an emulator and the time to download the game.
